Action taken against prosecutors who undermine state cases

# Justice minister Mmamoloko Kubayi says action is underway against prosecutors who compromise state cases. This follows National Director of Public Prosecutions, Shamila Batohi’s retracted remark that the National Prosecuting Authority had been infiltrated by corrupt officials. ActionSA called for Batohi’s removal over state capture failures, including the unresolved Gupta extradition. Kubayi defended the NPA, saying not all cases reflect institutional failure. Some individuals are under investigation, and disciplinary steps are being taken where misconduct has been found.
